In the future, the male student said he will continue to take math exams to achieve even higher results and expand to more applied subjects such as information technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and scientific research on higher-level topics.

"My biggest dream is to become a mathematician like Professor Ngo Bao Chau and study abroad at famous universities around the world such as Harvard and MIT. I really hope to receive prestigious scholarships from famous and technologically strong universities like the US so that I can contribute more to Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam," the male student with many great achievements confided.

The happiest moment

Sharing with Thanh Nien Newspaper, Ms. Le Thao Trang, Le Nam Long's mother, said that the family is very proud of their children's academic achievements. However, the family believes that in studying, children should be independent, self-study and know how to arrange their time reasonably. When the children are young, the family supports them a lot, but as they grow older, they let them solve problems on their own.

The family also wants comprehensive education, but the children must know how to develop their strengths and outstanding abilities. At the same time, in addition to math and computer science, the family still reminds their children to study foreign languages, science, practice physical education, sports and participate in community activities, social work, etc.

"The happiest moments in our family are family meals. Celebrations such as family members' birthdays, parents' wedding anniversaries... cozy meals, everyone discussing current or upcoming events, short-term plans or newly received awards, everything contributes to the warm family atmosphere...", Ms. Trang, mother of a typical young citizen of Ho Chi Minh City, confided.
